Focus stacking - taking a series of photos focussing on different "planes" through the subject and then using focus stacking software which takes the sharpest bits from each of the photos and combines them into one image - effrectively increasing the dof.

Eg this one taken with my old D90 camera on tripod manually focussed on rear flowers and then successive photos taken while slowly turning the focus ring until the front flower was in focus - about 11 photos in all if I remember right.
